HOOP SEASON GETS
TWO-GAME SERIES
CARROLL DROPS INITIAL
CONTEST OF YEAR TO
NO. MONT., 26-30.
Carroll opened its heavy basketball
season with two games with a strong
Northern Montana College squad last
Friday and Saturday evenings in the
college gymnasium losing by scores of
26-30 and 20-35.
In the first of the two-game series,
Carroll started out very slowly, falling behind the Northern Lights by
14-9 at the half, returning in the
second period to drop miserably low
for several minutes as the Havre quintet increased its lead by 22-11. In the
final minutes of the game the Hilltoppers, led by their lanky captain,
Jack Earls, opened a scoring drive
that brought the count to 28-26, with
the visitors still in the lead. With one
minute left to play, Murphy of the
Northern Montana team intercepted a
Carroll pass, dribbled the ball to the
goal and brought the final tally to 30-26
as the gun went off.
Though it was their first game of
the season and with only one veteran
from last year's team, Carroll put up

;Presittient'g jflessage
In the noble work of education your teachers, as your
guides in learning and virtue, find their inspiration in the
Great Teacher Who once said, "Learn of Me." These college
days are a preparation for life. The training that you receive
at Alma Mater emphasizes the knowledge of and devotion to
Him Whose presence is ever in your midst. "And thy eyes
shall see thy Teacher; and thy ear shall hear the word of one
admonishing thee behind thy back; this is the way, walk ye
in it; and go not aside neither to the right hand nor to the
left." Isaias 30—20-21,
How are you to recognize your Teacher, so that you may
listen to His instructions with docility? Divine Providence
has supplied you with the means. Even as the disciples at
Emmaus knew Him as He broke bread with him, so too shall
you know Him in the breaking of the bread, in the Holy
Communion of His Sacred Body and Blood. But before He
can make Himself known to you, He must first by His grace
bring to light the hidden things of darkness and make manifest the counsels of your hearts by a good confession. A
worthy reception of these sacraments should be your preparation for the great solemnity of the birth of your Divine
Teacher.
May this Christmas be a happy one for you and yours in
the truest sense of the word; may it fill you with spiritual
joy and consolation; may it fitly crown with blessings the
year which is swiftly passing away; and may it inaugurate a
New Year of progress in the way of learning and perfection,
and be in earnest of a happy eternity with the Divine Teacher,
Who is "the Way, the Truth, and the Life."
EMMET RILEY, President.
